New York, Oct. 24.
The expected increase in the demand for dyestuffs following the resumption of: operations by some of the textile mills has failed to materialize. Inquiries for certain products have been rather more humorous, it is true, but actual business has been of small proportions. The prevailing tone remains easy and there has been some yielding of prices here and there, though there have been few reductions of importance. The appearance has been noticed in the market recently of colours and intermechates of American manufacture that have been returned from Japan by consignees who have suffered reverses following the financial panic in that country. These products have been offered for resale at far below the original prices with an unsettling effect on some lines.—Reuter.
